Behold! The third coming of The Mall Tour!

After the great successes of Mall Tour 2006 and Mall Tour 2007 this landmark event returns for a third time. Again, the harmans will quake, cry and whine and we will reign victorious and pull down their temples of consumerism! The global economic depression has finally hit Malton, what better to stimulate the economy than a raging torrent of undead fury?

When did The Mall Tour 2009 start?

Shockingly in 2009, we were going to bring it forward but our market research showed that the breathers wouldn't get the irony. We started on the 9^th of January 2009!

Where did The Mall Tour 2009 start?

The tour began with a gathering in Eastonwood.

When do I attack?

Whenever you can. This is all about fun.

However, it's lots of fun to strike with other zombies to maximize your damage dealing capacity to the harmans.

Therefore we have brought back one of the great Mall Tour traditions, the guided tour groups! All guided tour groups are led by an experienced zambah who will help you find the very best barga!n bra!nz in the mall and will help our younger tourists grown up on a fresh diet of mall cuisine.

Rules

We're all about fun here on the Mall Tour, but certain rules are needed in order to maintain fair play. All participants, whether zombie, death cultist or PKer are expected to abide by them whilst representing the Tour. Breaking these rules could result in that player being publicly asked to leave the Tour and their actions being revealed to the community.

Alts

• One alt (character) per player interacting with the Mall Tour at any time. No exceptions.
• Any other characters you have must maintain a distance of one full suburb between themselves and your tourist. Having characters in neighbouring suburbs, even with a 10 block gap, is unacceptable. One full empty suburb at all times. No exceptions.
• You may have more than one character participate over the Tour (fighting either for or against us as you please) but a reasonable amount of time must be left between the the characters participating. 24 hours is the minimum time you should leave. Longer is better.

'Spying'

• Any information NOT in a public forum or a public IRC is not usable. Anything that is open to the public is fair game.
• 'Zombie spying', passing on information gained by going into buildings after gaining a revive is entirely legal.

Conduct

• The Mall Tour follows the legacy of classy events and classy players. The tourists are expected to behave in a similarly classy manner and encourage both side's enjoyment.
• Speeches or radio broadcasts that can be classed as 'text rape' are forbidden.
